Heads Up: Retooled Alabama Football Uniform Tonight

Well, I suppose the word “new” is up for discussion. Aesthetically, this is essentially the standard Alabama football uniform, featuring their typical road-white style with crimson numbers, letters and pant-stripes. From a performance standpoint though, this set represents a pretty drastic overhaul, with Nike giving the Crimson Tide the best gear that technology allows. Read more about the new Bama uniform here — plenty more photos as well — and look for these tonight, in the BCS National Championship Game.

Also of note: Bama will sport the Nike Alpha Pro cleat tonight as well, which is perhaps Nike Football’s most impressive new shoe.
